Their SpaceX capsule parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico in the early evening, just hours after departing the International Space Station.

I agree, but that's not happening here. AP was even barred from the white house over refusing to call it the GoA.

Correct. Tolerance is a social contract, not a moral absolute.

Hello! I don't intend to convince anyone one way is better than another, but I wanted to share why I like the mm/dd/yy format.

Simple reason, the number of possible integers increases as you go left to right.

I agree, I'm also happy that people like Walz seem to want to give people a better option, making a protest vote even less appealing.

While it's now available, they're not done with it.

Ooh nice, maybe we'll get one of the ladies as a romance option.

Depending on support they do plan to expand it further with Halsin’s romance storyline.

Metroid Dread studio's latest is Blades of Fire, a brutal blacksmithing action game with a cruel Dark Souls core in c/[email protected]

[–] Kayday 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm sorry you had that experience. Personally I didn't think Dread's bosses or levels were significantly harder than classic entries in the series, and some are straight up cake-walks once you know the patterns.

Regarding the instant death, it really didn't bother me. In the older games, you would find hazardous rooms that you couldn't progress through without a suit upgrade. The rooms with the E.M.M.I function the same way, except you get to interact with them instead of just turning around to explore elsewhere. They enhanced my fun with the game.

I'm glad Dread was generally well-received, but I guess it would be nice if they made an assist mode for people who just want the story, and the dopamine from killing a boss without having to try multiple times.

Wait, what in Dread was like Dark Souls that wasn't already in classic Metroid games?

[Engagement from anyone welcome]

Context, informed consent is a thing here and I will likely be starting HRT in the next month or two. Here is what my thought process has been for the last year since beginning to socially transition, although very slowly.

I should buy feminine clothes
I don't want to have to buy new clothes once my measurements (hopefully) change from HRT
I will wait to buy feminine clothes

I should practice makeup
Makeup makes dysphoria worse
I should start HRT / look into FFS
I will wait to practice makeup

I should start HRT
I haven't earned that; I don't dress or present fem
Kick can down the road for HRT

The good news is I called a doctor last week to schedule the appointment! So things are progressing. Just wanted to see if any guys, gals, or pals have had a similar experience with their transition, or seen someone else go through that.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for people under age 19.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” Trump said in a statement.

House passes immigrant detention bill that would be Trump’s first law to sign (apnews.com)

submitted 1 month ago by Kayday to c/politics

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that requires the detainment of unauthorized immigrants accused of theft and violent crimes, marking the first legislation that President Donald Trump can sign as Congress, with some bipartisan support, swiftly moved in line with his plans to crackdown on illegal immigration.

I am not sure what this bill actually changes. Do we not already detain anyone accused of theft or violent crimes? How would them being an unauthorized migrant even be a known factor unless they have already been detained?

It will certainly embolden some people to snitch, which is likely the intention.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump issued pardons for participants in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, including those convicted of assaulting police, in his first official action after returning to the White House as the country’s 47th president on Monday.
The pardons of about 1,500 people fulfilled Trump’s promise to release supporters who tried to help him overturn his election defeat four years ago. Another 14 people had their sentences commuted.
“These are the hostages,” he said while signing the paperwork in the Oval Office.

I primarily use my pc for gaming, and want to avoid upgrading to Windows 11. Beginning the journey of looking into alternatives.

I am ignorant, trying to be less so. I have a hard time understanding what exactly makes a game not work just because of OS.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but joy is at least as good a reason as suffering to pursue a better life. (self.mtf)

So many years I convinced myself that I didn't have it bad enough to transition. I wasn't constantly depressed, only sometimes. Dysphoria didn't affect me daily, just weekly...

Never mind the fact that any time I embraced who I was it made me so happy, or that being seen by others the way I wanted felt more real than any other recognition I'd received before. No, I didn't suffer enough, so I didn't deserve to rock the boat with my happiness.

Folks, as cliche as it is, we aren't here forever. Life is too short to waste it lying to yourself and everyone around you.
